LOWELL WINS THE PENNANr.

LOWELL WINS THE PENNANT.
The long agony is over at last and the pen
nant goes to Lowell While many have en-
tertained some hope to the last that the
Portlands would pull out ahead, large ma
jority Of the people in this city have expect.
ed for some time that the result would be as
1t Is. The Lowells have been playing great
ball and are undoubtedly better club than
the Portlands as they are now constituted
They have worked hard for the pennant and
nave received the hearty support Of the
Lowell public in their efforts. They de-
served the pennant after such a struggle and
cortland 10 people, although they would have
llked to see their club again at the head,
VIII be satisfied, as long as the P0rtlands
gave the L0wells such fight for the bunt-
Ing. That the boys gave the LOwells such a
night Is as much to their credit as If they had
won.
THE PROSPECTS FOR NEXT YEAR.
OF course not much can be said with any
certainty at this season regarding the pros
pect for next year. One thing Is certain,
however, and that Is that Portland viii be
In the New England League with team as
strong. II not stronger than this years team.
Negotiations are already being made with
several strong players and those with the
ones that remain from this years team, will
keep up the high standard that has been
raised In this city. Mr.. Spence will manage
the team and that fact is a sufficient guaran-
tee that there will be team here worth hay-
ing. Lowell will, of course, have a strong
club, and Salem will keep large portion OF
this years team. Manager Burnham will
put strong team In the League TO represent
worcester and the rum0r Is now that Frank
Seelee will bring large part Of his Oshkosh
team east with him and will play them at
Br0cktOn. Another rumor Is that John Ir-
win will bring large part of the Newark
team to Haverhill. Manchester and Lynn
are uncertain but both cities claim that they
will have good teams. The prospect Is now
surely favorable for another year, and with
six or eight good teams In the League, the
cities above mentioned will probably see
base ball played In a style worthy Of liberal
patronage.
REJOICING IN LOWELL.
There was great excitement in Lowell
when the victorious team arrived home last
night. They were met at the train, escorted
through Illuminated streets to the tune, "The
Conquering Hero Comes" and finally ban
quetted at the American House.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
BENNETT & MoULToN.


Two operas were presented by this COM
pany at Portland Theatre yesterday-one
last evening and the other at the matinee.
At the matinee the charming "Fra DiaUOIo"
received attention. and was thoroughly en-
joyed. In the evening THE Musketeers"
was given, which has been sung on former
occasions by the Ideals. As Is well known,
the music Is bright and sparkling, and there
is much fun in the opera, especially in the
school room scene in the second act. The
chorus in this act appeared to especial ad-
vantage. Miss Kissing as Marie, and Miss
Sweeney as Louise were very pleasing, and
Misses Msddigan and Nichols did justice to
the nuns. Messrs. Armand and Miller as
the two musketeers looked well and acted
with spirit Ben Lodge made lots of fun as
the Able, AMI the other parts were we'll
taken. OF course, it is needless TO say there
was a great audience.
Tonight the favorite opera, "Fatinitza."
will be given.

Arrested and Locked Up.

CHICAGO, April SC. L. Watson, who
has figured prominently 10 the disappear
ance of his wife, nee Miss Lillian Slevely, Of
Sterling, ILL.,, was locked up last night Oh
charge of obtaining money by false pretences
The charge is brought by the proprietor of a
hotel, who claims Watson swindled him out

arrest was instigated by Carr D. Aldrich,
Mrs. Watson's attorney, who has himself
sworn out warrant charging Watson with
stealing $1,000 and some jewelry from Lii
liam Sleyey. 1t is now said that the young
woman who figures SO conspicuousy in this
case left Watson because she heard that he
already had wife and child living, ard his
arrest for the hotel swindle is merely a
stratagem to hold him until the woman in
the case returns from Omaha, when she will
prosecute him on charges OF bigamy and
larceny

Virginia's IRON Boom.

The latest Southern state to show symp.
toms of breaking out with the attack of the
boom we have been speaking Of is Virginia.
This state had little iron boom OF its own
few years ago, when several Of the best
furnaces in the country we're then built
within its borders, and it may be excused
for having been.a little slow TO catch the
spirit OF the broader boom which originated
further south about two years ago 1t had
less need to catch it than the other states for
its resources for the manufacture OF iron had
been more fully made known than theirs
had been. If the present boom should now
capture Virginia We may be sure that both
Tennessee and Alabama will find in her
formidable competitor in the manufacture
of large quantities of iron, and at low cost
Already, as we showed last week, Virgin.
ia has at Roanoke the largest machine shop,
for the utilization of iron 80 well as other
manufactur cd products, that is now in the
South.
The indications that the boom is about to
make itself felt in Virginia are numerous.
Large bona fde investments in the exten.
sive iron ore aud coal lands in Southwest
ern Virginia have recently been made for
the purpose of immediate development;
new and large blast furnace at Pulaski, in
this district, is already in course of erection.
the ore of the district is excellent Tor foundry
purposes, and the coal makes superior coke,
and large demand for it assure to be created
as soon as it eau be put in the market ct Re-
auoke on inducement Of q cash bonus Of
$50 900 and exemption from the payment Of
taxes has been offered to responsible per-
sons who will establish rolling mill; at
Richmond our friend Blankenship is about
finishing the first Bessemer steel plant in
Virginia, and lastly among the new Virginia
enterprises that occur to us is the rumored
sale during the past week to Pittsburg CAPT
taists of 500, 900 interest in the Van Blu
rem furnace property, near Woodstock,
which is expected to result in the active de-
velopmept of its manganilerous and other
iron ores which are embraced in q tract OF
several thousand acres.-Bmietin Of the Iron
and Steel Association.
